I am from a the camp of , Black tyres, black saddle, and non coloured chains, so I think you bike is like a barbers pole Bar tape is the only thing I display any flair with on my bikes. It's a nice frame though. Is that an ally fork? Is it original?

Unfortunately non original aluminium fork. Should have a pantographed 51.151 chrome fork. Commemorating Moser breaking the one hour record in 1984 covering 51.151 kilometers.

I'd say work with analogous colours for colour-matching. I'm with Dave on black tape/saddle, etc. but if something available sits within the analogous colour selection, I could be convinced to alter it. For example, the Europa is teal, but getting dark grey tape and cables - keeping black as a fallback/baseline, options for tyres are then a matching grey (well, within a few shades), white, grey/blue etc. Decals are usually a good spot to start, too. Which colours are used there? Does it work?
